LionsGate Wants Pirate Sites To Pay For Expendables 3 Leak

An anonymous reader writes: During the summer of 2014 the movie studio LionsGate suffered a major setback when a high quality leak of the then unreleased Expendables 3 film appeared online. Fearing a massive loss in revenue the movie studio sued the operators of several websites that allegedly failed to remove the infringing files. Over the past year there has been little progress in the case as most of the accused site operators failed to respond to LionsGate's complaint. In a new filing at the California district court LionsGate indicates a desire to move forward by asking for a default judgment against the operators of LimeTorrents and the (already defunct) Dotsemper and Swankshare sites. Previously LionsGate settled with the operator of video hosting service Played.to.
